There is a story in Greek mythology about Saturn eating his children. Saturn lost his mind and started eating his children one by one after the prophecy that one of his children would dethrone him, just like he dethroned his own father. I wish the story was limited to legends, but although eras have changed, human nature has not. Tyrants who are stuck in an incurable paranoia with their lust for power have continued to eat their children in every era.

In today’s Turkiye, there are thousands of examples of how the passion for power and authority, one of the black holes of the human soul, swallows and destroys the innocent lives. You will read three of these stories in our book. You will read about the escape of three innocent people from the tyrant who is after them to swallow them piece by piece. This is not just an escape story, by the way. At the same time, this is the story of remaining human while fighting a monster and not losing the light of love. As long as the light of love and compassion shines in hearts, there will always be hope for humanity. As you can see, our struggle is the struggle to remain human.
